“That one can convince one’s opponents with printed reasons, I have not believed since the year 1764. It is not for that purpose that I have taken up my pen, but rather merely to annoy them, and to give strength and courage to those on our side, and to make it known to the others that they have not convinced us.”
G.C. Lichtenberg (1742 – 1799), courtesy of 'Deogolwulf'

I confess to being as bewildered as you by the conflicting agitprop coming from all political parties and I simply await the decision of young Master Fraser Nelson, editor of The Spectator, who has promised to refuse to sign up to any deal that he considers a threat to the freedom of the press. However, Guido reminds us bloggers that we should take heed because, apparently, we too will come under whatever deal is stitched up by those duplicitous, money-grubbing ratbags in parliament . . . ooops, was that a knock at the door, I heard . . . ?
